A long time ago, only dragons could use magic and used it to terrorize humanity, until humanity discovered a way to channel magic through jushiki, specialized formulas that can alter the world's laws. People capable of using such power came to be known as jushikiists. Long wars between humans and dragons followed until a peace treaty was enforced years later, starting an age of fragile peace. Gayus Levina Sorel and Gigina Jerde Dolk Melios Ashley Boeuf are two jushikiists who take requests from a variety of clients.
